Bomb Threat At Huntley High School
Monday morning, February 6, at 10:10 AM, the Huntley High School received a call from a male voice saying a bomb would go off in one hour. The Huntley Police Department, assisted by The McHenry County Sheriffs Police and Huntley Fire Department conducted a search of the gymnasium area. All students were then directed to that area and an intensive search was made of the remainder of the school. After a determined amount of time had passed the students returned to their classrooms for normal activities.
Chief Rossi said "I would like to commend the kids for their attitude and conduct during the entire time. There was no chaos and they were all very cooperative doing the things we asked of them." Even the County Police commented the excellence of the Huntley High School student's behavior. The Chief also said this was the first time since he has been in Huntley (10 years) that anything like this has happened.
OfHcials are conducting an thorough and extensive investigation of the threat. In co-operation with the telephone company, all calls to the schools are being monitored.
The Chief said, "The way this situation was handled is a refelction upon the quality of the cooperation between the village, school and county forces."
100th Day Is Here At Last
The kindergarten, first and second grade students of Huntley Grade School celebrated their 100th day of the school year on Thursday, Feb. 2nd. (celebration originally set for Feb. 3rd - but changed due to certain circumstances). Despite the frigid cold weather, the helium-filled balloons, each addressed with individual student's name and school address, were launched by all the primary students that day. In the weeks to follow, students will wait in anticipation to see if their balloons will be received by another student in another town or state.
Huntley Firemen Appreciation Night For Wives
The Winter Dinner held January 21st by the Huntley Fire Department is also Wive's Appreciation Night. A special "Thank You" to all the wives who are the unseen supporters of the Fire Department. They put up with calls at any time, day or night, also with meetings schooling and drills. It takes a very special woman to be a fireman's wife as they
must be very understanding and have lots of patience.
On behalf of all the Huntley Firemen I commend each wife for their support and understanding. All of you are a very special type of person and should be very proud; as we are of each of you.
Sincerely,
Dave Veath
Chief HFPD
